What a day we had. First of all, Erika was having some of her group for the Halloween Dance come over before to eat pizza and play games, which meant that we had to clean the house. We started at 10:00 am and finished around 3 pm. Both upstairs and down stairs bathrooms, family room, kitchen and living room. There group had 4 couples, so 8 teenagers all at once. The night before, Erika and Riley decided that they wanted to carve pumpkins. You would think that they were too old for this, but no, they begged to go buy them and carve them for Halloween night. So, the picture above is there art work of carving. Erika also decided that we should decorate the front door and steps for the Trick or Treaters. So that took us another hour. It was a girls choice dance, so they girls decided in their group that each one would dress up in a decade. Erika and her friend, Nate, chose the 80's. The others, were 20's, 50's, 70's. They picked up their dates at 6 pm and then had pizza, breadsticks, grapes and veggies with some kool-aid. It sounded like they were having a great time laughing together. They went to the dance at 9:30 pm and she was home at Midnight. She said that there were not very many people at the dance, which was surprising. She was so glad that she decided to ask her friend, Nate Dixon, (who is also in her orchestra class). His sister dressed him up at Billy Idol. Not bad. Erika and i had to go and get leg warmers, scrunchies, shirt and crimp her hair. I tried to get her to wear more 80's stuff, but she said she was done. Riley went Trick or Treating with the two Sarah's for a couple of hours. So, I was locked in my room, while Erika and friends were playing and eating, but was told that I still had to go to the door for the Trick or Treaters, because she was on a date.
